Very long flight!

I must be getting older! Long flights used to be a piece of cake, but not any more apparently. I left my apartment at 7:30 AM and reached the hotel in Vancouver 26 hours later!
I thought I would post one before and one after picture of me here but since I don't want to scare anyone I "modified" the after picture a bit (it's taken after a couple of hours of sleep and a shower).

The flight to Frankfurt was quick and easy! I even got to feel some of the heat in Frankfurt since we didn't arrive at a gate.
The next flight was about one hour late departing. I tried to sleep most of the way when I wasn't looking out the window and taking pictures of the ground.




The Atlantic.




Canada




Some town close to Toronto




New development in a suburb to Toronto




Downtown Toronto

In Toronto I had to go through customs and pick up my bags. Even though it felt like it took quite a while to get from the gate to the baggage pick up area it it took forever before the baggage arrived! Then I had to check in again. But I only had about an hours wait after that before the next flight. Everything that makes the time pass at an airport are great things :o)

I was pretty tired of sitting on an airplane getting on the last one. And even though I liked the high tech Air Canada plane compared to the two Lufthansa planes I had been on so far the seats were not as comfortable.

Apparently I was sitting next to a Swede on the flight to Vancouver. Since she spoke English with her boyfriend I didn't realize that until she took out her passport when we were getting off the aircraft. I hope she will be the only Swede I meet on this trip! Except the ones I know and is going to travel with of course!

I'm glad it was so easy to get from the Vancouver airport to the hotel with The Sky Train. I fell asleep quite quickly even though the hotel is situated in a night club area and I could here and feel the beat from the music in my room.
